“Then what?” I whispered. “Guilt” he answered sure of himself. “Guilt?” I questioned unsure of his answer.
“Don't give me that tone. Yes, guilt.” He snaps sighing.
“Think about it before his accident, he would have never done what he did to you or treated you the way he did. If his memories come flooding back, then so does his feelings and the old him. The him that would've shot Roxy and Lexi the second they came with that bullshit accusation, the Vincenzo that would of never left you alone not for a second. The Vincenzo that would've attacked you the second he saw you again, the Vincenzo you got is the Vincenzo I've known my whole life. Cold, distant, that version of himself decided everything with his head, and only makes decisions based on facts not emotions.”
“Guilt” I whispered realising it, maybe that's why. Maybe he just doesn't want to feel it all come crashing down at once. “Give him a reason Isabella” he nods his head and walks out, “now get changed and hurry up I'll be in the car waiting.”

I shake my head and quickly change into something more comfortable, locking up behind me. Sebastián and Alex already beating us to the estate. I quickly put Dante into the car making sure the seats secured. I walk around getting in the car rolling down the windows as the car takes off. “Excited?” Lorenzo chimes up. I smile nodding my head “it's a moment I thought would never come, but how did you know where they were?” I questioned. “I didn't” he admitted, I looked at him confused “to be honest I gave up, I didn't know how to find them or even where to start. Little did I know Vincenzo was doing his own thing.” I nod my head smiling like a child. Vincenzo was like my guardian angel.

We parked the car at the front of the stairs, I got out and everyone in the yard fell silent watching me. I stood there for a second looking at everyone with a grin, I couldn't help but feel happy. “Isabella!” They all shouted rushing towards me, I shouted excited as they formed a group hug around me. “I've missed you guys!” I admitted laughing, “bitch came back from the dead” I looked at Bullseye with my eyes wide open “or did I?” I questioned. They all took a step back and eyed me, I burst out laughing.
“Are you all drunk already?” I questioned half of them said no the other half said maybe. I shook my head “you want to catch up?” Fico begged, I pouted “those days have come to a small stop. I gotta be responsible now” I informed them. They all look confused, “ah” I spoke up snapping my fingers knowing they probably have no clue what's going on.
“Give me a second” I walk to the side of the car and take out Dante's seat turning it around showing the men the baby. They all jumped back scared like I was holding a bomb before stepping forward again this time they all looked excited. Their faces all formed sly grins.
“YOU HAVE A BABY?” They shouted I nodded my head, “Men meet Dante, Dante say hi to your bodyguards” I laughed looking at them.
They all came closer smiling looking at him, all six of them crowded his seat towering over him “okay we got it from here be gone” Hacker grabbed the seat off me, and they all ran away with my son. “WHA- HEY!” I shouted, hearing the faint giggle coming from Dante as they ran with him. Lorenzo laughed shaking his head “you're never getting him back” he pointed out. Laughing I shook my head “I don't know what’s scarier, the fact that mafia men took off running with my son or the fact that I let them” I tilted my head watching them from a distance, putting Dante in the shade all talking and playing with him. You could see Dante reaching his tiny hands out trying to grab one of their faces.
“You know his dad is the don, right?” Lorenzo laughs out looking at me, I glare at him “oh shut up” I bite back. Turning around I stare at the familiar doors my heart twisted into a knot, letting out a deep breath I walk up slowly. Looking around nothing much has changed, “Isabella?” Ariana calls out, I smile giving her a hug.
“When did you get here?” she asked shocked and surprised to see me. “Oh, about the same time you managed to trick me and Vincenzo into both being at that wedding” I commented. Her eyes go wide smiling innocently she looks at me “me? Psh wha- Is that Dante?” she cuts herself off looking at the men holding his car seat. “IT IS!” She shouts pushing me to the side and dashing outside. "STAY AWAY!" The boys shouted grabbing him in his seat running away from Ariana, "GIVE ME MY NEPHEW!" She shouts, "LEAVE OUR NEPHEW ALONE" They shout in return. "Wait ... nephew?" Hacker shouts, "THIS IS VINCENZO'S SON!" they all yell out. I look at them dumbfounded who else is it going to be? “OH MY GOD” They shouted getting even more excited than they were before. “WE ARE HOLDING THE FUTURE BOSS OF THE KINGS” they shouted making me laugh out. They looked down at Dante full of pride the same look Lorenzo had when he first saw Dante.
“You know that they're never letting him go now” Lorenzo laughed. “They just figured out that that boy is their next boss, and the son of the two people they love most in the world” he looks at me serious.
I smiled shaking my head “did the kings just kidnap my boy?” I asked, he nodded his head walking away. “I WANT HIM BACK IN ONE PIECE STOP RUNNING AROUND!” I shouted watching them desperately trying to doge Ariana. I shook my head laughing fucking idiots … I missed them. I walked up the familiar staircase walking past Vincenzo's office my feet took me to my old room, walking inside I take in everything nothing’s changed my bed is still the same as I left it, the sheets were ruffled. I close my eyes shut and walk towards Maria's room. Taking in a deep breath I opened the door slowly, looking at everything my eyes start to tear up.
I walk closer looking at her bed smiling at the memory of us talking and watching movies, laughing at the time Lorenzo jumped in joining us watching a horror movie. Then he spilled the popcorn all over Maria. I laugh tracing the side of the bed, where she would normally sleep, I walk towards her nightstand and see a photo of the two of us I smile picking it up. Tracing over her face with my finger a tear manages to escape my eye. What I would do to go back in time, to have you so close again. I miss you so much butterfly.
I hear a soft knock I turn around and see Lorenzo looking at me with a sad expression, I smile nodding my head “it's hard coming in here without her” he admits looking around the room, he smiles looking at the photo in my hands.
“Oh god, I remember that day” he laughed. I laughed nodding my head “we were so drunk” I commented laughing at the memory. “You two were hammered, Vincenzo and I were stuck on babysitting duty. I remember you got drunk after watching Jennifer's body, the two of you started filming and copying that iconic scene with the lighter. Both of you almost burnt your fucking tongues off” he yelled.
I laughed nodding my head "OHHH YEAA" I cracked up remembering that “she begged me to take her to get that printed out and framed, after an hour of her begging I caved. She was so wasted and trying to figure out how to print it was hilarious. She was yelling at the computer thinking it's a robot” he laughed out. I smiled shaking my head looking back at the photo “it's days like those that make me feel human, and grateful having shared a moment like that with my sister” I sigh smiling “I miss her so much” I admitted. Looking at the photo of the two of us holding lighters in our hands laughing while trying to hold onto each other so we don’t fall. Lorenzo nodded his head pulling me in a hug “I miss too” he whispered softly. I put the picture frame back in its spot and take one last look before leaving, “I think I should go see Vincenzo now” Lorenzo hissed and stood in front of me “maybe you should go sightseeing” he said trying to steer me from Vincenzo's office. I eyed him sceptical “you not wanting me to go see him just makes me want to go.”
“Okay, then go see him?” Lorenzo tried reverse psychology, but he just sounded so unsure of himself, “now I don't want to” I pouted, he looked at me shocked “really?” he questioned proud of himself. I smiled and ran past him “nope!” I shouted and ushered his men to move aside, they hesitated but knew I was going to get my way anyway. Glad to know nothing has changed, I open the door and see a woman completely naked in his office, my mouth drops to the floor. I turn on my heel and storm out of his office, “Isabella” Vincenzo shouts out. “Hey, hey! Where are you going” Lorenzo stops in front of me trying to block my way, I duck under his arm and stomp to the kitchen “what are you doing?” Lorenzo asks scared of my answer. “I’m going to relax” I smile at him “honey that smile is the same smile you get before setting someone on fire" he points out looking me up and down.
I continue smiling at him “what's more relaxing than setting someone on fire?” I chimed up grabbing a lighter and walking past him again, “a lot of things!” He shouted sacred running after me. “Isabella!” he shouts snatching the lighter out of my hand “you can’t set her on fire” he tries to rationalise.
“Who said I was setting just her on fire?" I asked him trying to get it back out of his hands. Just before he could reply the girl came downstairs looking very offended, I raised an eyebrow at her, and she looks me up and down before walking off. “The fuck is that bitch looking at?” I yelled getting her attention, she stopped in her tracks and spun around. She stood in front of me about to say something before she was cut off “Get. Out” Vincenzo warns her from the staircase, she closes her mouth rolling her eyes.
She turns around to walk off before I grab her arm, applying pressure I whisper, “if I see you near Vincenzo again, you'll be walking out of this estate in pieces.” I threaten her letting go of her arm. She gulps fear evident in her eyes before she rushes off, I spin on my heel “Really?” I waved my hands up. Walking up the stairs I go into his office waiting for him to follow me, he walks in watching me with a smug look. “You're fucking proud of yourself, aren't you?” I yelled not finding the humour behind this situation. He watches me while I throw a fit, I huff pissed off.
“If you wanted to fuck other girls don't invite me to stay” I coldly snapped walking off, he stops me midway holding onto my arm pulling me back so now I am facing him.
“Isabella” he tried to rationalise with me, but the thought of him with anyone else sent me over the fucking edge.
“If you wanted to fuck some slut, then don't invite me over, DON'T send a car for me and DON'T you dare do it with our son in the same fucking house!” I shouted punching his chest.
“I hate you” I whispered aggressively and slowly letting the words sink into his head. His stare hardened, the veins in his forehead became more and more visible the harder he clenched.
“No” he denied shaking his head.
“Yes” I confirmed nodding my head.
